A condensed, geometric sans with sharp, faceted joins and mostly straight-sided strokes. Letterforms are built from rectilinear stems paired with angled cuts, producing distinctive triangular counters and wedge terminals in several glyphs. Curves are minimized and, where present, are simplified into polygonal arcs, giving the overall alphabet a machined, cut-from-sheet look. Spacing and widths vary by character, creating an irregular, hand-assembled rhythm while maintaining consistent stroke weight and a disciplined vertical posture.
Best suited for display typography such as posters, album/film titles, game interfaces, event graphics, and branding where a sharp, technical voice is helpful. It can also work for packaging or labels that want an industrial or futuristic edge, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the cut angles and counters remain clear.
The design reads as industrial and slightly aggressive, with a retro sci‑fi and arcade-signage flavor. Its angular cuts and narrow stance add urgency and attitude, evoking machinery, warning labels, and stylized comic or game titling. The overall tone is assertive and graphic rather than neutral or text-centric.
The font appears intended to deliver a distinctive, angular sans voice that prioritizes impact and recognizability over neutrality. Its faceted construction suggests a deliberate “cut” aesthetic—like metal, stone, or vinyl lettering—aimed at stylized titling and thematic graphics.
Distinctive triangular apertures and notch-like cutouts create strong internal shapes that hold up at display sizes and add a recognizable texture across words. Numerals follow the same squared, angular construction and feel designed to match the caps for headline use. The alphabet’s intentional irregularities give it personality, but also make it better suited to short runs of text than dense paragraphs.
